Fredericksburg woman shoots and kills alleged home intruder, 19
KVUE ABC ^ | 04/12/2020 | Drew Knight

Posted on 04/12/2020 7:02:27 PM PDT by aimhigh

The Gillespie County Sheriff's Office is investigating reports of a fatal shooting and home invasion early Saturday morning. Deputies responded to the residence on the 15000 block of Ranch Road 965 around 12:45 a.m. after the caller reported an intruder had been shot by a person inside the home.

Officials said the homeowner, 73-year-old Curtis Roys, was asleep when he heard a loud banging noise outside. He then discovered a young man on his back patio who, when confronted, pushed his way inside through the patio door and began to assault Roys with a blunt object. Reportedly, he then put Roys into a chokehold, causing him to lose consciousness.

Deputies said Roys' fiancée, 65-year-old Melody Lumpkin, pled several times for the man to stop assaulting him, but the man did not comply. She then retrieved a handgun from the bedroom and fired a warning shot, but deputies said the alleged intruder continued his assault. When she noticed Roys was not moving, Lumpkin then reportedly fired another shot, striking the man in the head. When Roys regained consciousness, officials said they then called 911.

It would be almost fun to see a story about an alleged homeowner who was allegedly 73 and who allegedly been previously employed as an truck driver who was allegedly beaten by an alleged home intruder.

He was allegedly going to be defended by an alleged lawyer but it allegedly turned out he was allegedly dead.

Well, that’ll be a lesson to future idiots in Fredericksburg. As someone who has lived there, please always assume that homeowners have weapons.

"The scum Democrat press will expect the old couple to be imprisoned for defending themselves."

Here in Texas the Police and DAs know better than to try that BS. The Grand Jury would No-Bill that case in a New York minute because some people just need kill'n.

My guess is that Cleto was hopped up to the gills on drugs as is the usual for home invaders these days. And violence is often the result when confronted.

If this was in Virginia, the DemocRAT governor would be looking to take away their gun to leave them defenseless against a followup event.

Take heed folks. The DemocRAT Party is hell bent on taking away your firearms and your rights. Time to vote out the Blighters!

if the body’s in the house, the intrusion is not “alleged”

Please log back in and tell us what “better reflexes” the lady needs

Thanks for the softball question.

1. NEVER fire a warning shot.
If you are in a position where you need to shoot, shoot to end the threat.

2. Don't wait until your companion has been beaten to the point where s/he is lying motionless on the floor. You shouldn't get even, you should stop the threat in time to do some good.

Anything else you need to know? Perhaps you should take a concealed carry class. You appear to be in a position to learn a lot. Or pay a competent lawyer for advice.

Also, the girlfriend probably didn’t want to take the shot while her man was being strangled. The article states that only after she saw her boyfriend’s “lifeless” body did she shoot to kill. Lady did good.

I'll take a shot at that.

Norwegian-Nigerian-Guatemalan extraction.

The Norwegian part explains the home invasions. I guess he skipped the warm-up...

Should’ve included zinc.
